Natural tan hatch grain and green vertical bifold – Italian veg-tan

This is a made-to-order item. As leather is a natural article, your item will be similar but not identical to the product photos due to natural variation.

This vertical bifold pairs two characterful Italian leathers: a natural tan horse culatta exterior from Shell Cordovan Toscana Italia and a rich green Gaucho Oil interior from Conceria La Bretagne.

The exterior is cut from horse culatta, taken from the rump of the hide, with a pronounced hatch-grain finish. The natural tan colour allows some of the leather’s original markings and variation to remain visible beneath the embossed texture, giving each piece a little more character rather than a completely uniform finish.

Inside, the green Gaucho Oil provides a strong contrast against the warm natural exterior. It has a smooth, glossy surface with a subtle pull-up effect, creating lighter and darker tones as the leather bends and moves. Together, the two leathers make for a fairly bold combination without losing the classic look of the natural tan exterior.

The vertical layout is designed to stay compact while carrying the everyday essentials. It has three card slots and two hidden pockets, with room for approximately 6–8 cards from the start plus notes folded once.

Every piece is hand-cut, saddle-stitched, heat-creased, bevelled, and burnished by me in Brisbane, Australia. The edges are polished to a smooth gloss, and the wallet is stitched with Japanese Vinymo MBT #8 thread in Cigar to complement the warm exterior.
